I’ve applied to Take a Break before and got a grant, can I apply again?Yes, you can make one application per year.

I have two disabled children at home – can I make two Take a Break applications?We can make only one award per household in each funding round. While we can sometimes make a larger award, this is not based on the number of disabled children or children in a household but on exceptional circumstances.
